New water pump

[ggentry49]

Apparently, no one has had trouble getting the bolts off holding the water pump on the block. With the front engine cover off, the top bolt appears to just at the top edge of the pulley. The other two bolts seen from the top don't seem to be a problem. Anyone have suggestions on where to buy a quality water pump; reasonable price; I know its a Porsche!!!

Mine was the URO brand from RockAuto. Costs about $100 and includes a gasket. Seems to be working fine so far after about 5k miles.

Someone else bought one of those e-bay water pumps. Lasted about a year...not a very happy camper. He ended buying a Porsche pump.
